Washing machine help needed!


*Anna*

Recommended Posts

Hello All,


We had a new washing machine installed in our bathroom about 3 weeks ago. All is great except for when its going full spin (1200 and 1400) and it then jumps around to the point at which we have to turn it off and the clothes remain dripping wet.


Having done my research:

- the washing machine is level

- it's not down to an uneven load (happens when it's empty)

- I tried putting a piece of wood under each leg


Anyone have any bright ideas? Even you builders and plumbers who might charge to fix it?

It's a wooden floor if that changes anything?

its clearly not level, first thing is to screw all the feet in then look at the level using a sprit level on top of machine, then unscrew each foot making machine level .oh and by the way the machine shouldnt really be in the bathroom .i guess the machine is sitting on suspended floor .it might help to tigh the joist in using same size timber thus making the floor more firmer .

    • A couple of updates to this terrible event:   1) In 2021, two cousins (one from Penge and one from Streatham) were convicted of murder and sentenced to a minimum of 23 years in prison. The Southwark News has a summary of the awful day. https://southwarknews.co.uk/area/dulwich/donnell-rhule-dulwich-knife-murderer-cousins-sentenced-to-life-for-killing-18-year-old/    2) Last week, a female prison officer from Forest Hill was sentenced to eight months in prison for pursuing a relationship with one of the two murderers while at HMP Brixton. https://metro.co.uk/2025/12/15/probation-officer-admits-relationship-prisoner-hmp-belmarsh-25501445/ https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/38203627/probation-officer-jailed-illicit-relationship-murderer-secure-prison/
    • The Commons Public Accounts Committee questioned both the CEO and MD of Capita yesterday, at their last meeting before the recess:  https://committees.parliament.uk/event/25889/formal-meeting-oral-evidence-session/.  In October they'd already expressed concern that Capita might not  be able to efficiently retake over responsibility for the administration within the timescale. Given the joint statement recently issued by Capita and the Cabinet Office I'm not sure that contacting an MP is going to add much, other than venting what I think most of us can probably appreciate of what those affected are likely  to be thinking and feeling; unless perhaps, and I hope it's not needed, to report on deficiencies in the immediate rescue actions.
    • She's responded, but I'm sure I read something in the Guardian consumer advice column. Might be some pointers if you're stuck
    • Two for Ratcliffe, the obvious one:   And one simply because it has the word  "You are nothing but blind fascists" in it.  Oh and a good song too.   Haven't listened to this for years.  Bloody good!
